Images in span tag in new spark richtext

[box86rowh]

Hello,
I am trying to load some simple html into a richtext control in Flex 4.
The html is as follows:

<span><img src="imgPath" /> (123)</span>
<span><img src="imgPath" /> (123)</span>
<span><img src="imgPath" /> (123)</span>

When i take the image tag out of the span it renders fine, but in the span it does not show up at all!

Anyone know what could be going on here?

Sorry I do not know, but I seem to recall someone posting the same issue a week or so ago. I had a look around at the time, because I think the poster believed that span had been deprecated. I could not find anything on the matter one way or another.
